'HELLO' #GDP040 | CASE the Designer

'HELLO'

#KOCreationscards #Thewildernessawaits #Inthemeadow #Lovelyasatree #Jaroflove #Sponging

This week we have the opportunity to CASE the super talented Shawn de Oliveira.

As you can see from the design below Shawn's water coloring & sponging is just divine. 

When CASEing you can choose any element from the card to replicate. Be it the stamp used, the design or the technique.

 I thought I would give the water coloring and card design a bash.

'HELLO'

Please forgive my image quality today, it is extremely overcast here so I had to have all lights on as well as the lamp. So I have a few extra shadows in some pictures.

How I made 'Hello':

• I started by stamping two images of the fox from 'The Wilderness Awaits' stamp set, one onto whisper white & one onto reflex paper. I cut the reflex image out and used it as a mask to stamp the tree behind the fox.
• I then stamped the image of the tree onto reflex paper and cut that out also.
• Stamping the smaller flowers and grass from the 'In The Meadow' stamp set in front of the fox gives the whole image some more depth.
• Placing my masks over the fox and tree. I spritzed the paper with water then I picked up some Dapper Denim ink onto my sponge and lightly sponged around the background area. Redoing areas I wanted a little darker.
• I colored the fox & trees using my Stampin' Write markers, scribbled onto a stamping block then picked up with an aqua painter.
• I let dry and trimmed to the required size.
• After trimming I distressed the edges using a file. 
• Placing the water color image in the area I wanted on the backing card stock, I got my stamps that I wanted to carry over to the underside ready. I held them above my image in the general area then removed my water color and stamped onto the backing card stock.
• Above the background card stamped area, I used the 'Hello' sentiment from the 'Jar of Love' stamp set.
• Using my Tear n Tape I put my finished pieces together.

• I finished of by creating a smaller image for the inside of the card
• I tied twine around both images to the front and on the inside.
